Chapter 58
Aiden’s pov
All I feel is anger as I storm to where I saw Mila taking my son.
I can’t believe she was trying to justify herself for keeping my son’s existence away from me. I gritted
my teeth.
For three years I’ve thought about her and cared about her even though I was trying so hard not to.
Only for her to be the villain in all of this.
I push the door open, causing Mila to jump in fright. She clutches my son closer, looking at me in alarm.
Her eyes are wide and she looks ready to jump into action if she has to.
Did she really think I came here to hurt my son?
My eyes fall to the little boy on her lap, enveloped by her arms protectively. His resemblance to me is
quite scary. You’d be a fool to not notice.
His blue eyes, if not the same as mine at least similar are gazing up at me with a gleam of intrigue. My
heart warms.
I had never considered having children, especially when I
obviously hadn’t got the woman I wanted to have those children with. But turns out that, that woman
had already had my kid, only to not have told me.
There’s a sinking feeling of betrayal weighing down my belly. I want to punch a hole in the wall, and
scream at her for betraying me once more.
But I don’t want to scare that innocent face that was staring at me with twinkling blue eyes. He was
beautiful. And he was mine.
And I missed out on years of his life. Because of her.
I’m instantly angry as hell. I’m breathing erratic and I’m glaring down at Mila who’s holding him like I
was going to take him away from her and walk out of the apartment.
The thought crossed my mind but I wouldn’t do something like that to Sophie no matter how much she
hurt me.
“Aiden
Her soft voice fluttered behind me, making me grit my teeth at how much she had a shiver crawling
down my spine despite how angry I am at her right now.
“I didn’t think
I shake my head, stepping into the room and having Mila rise to her feet with my little boy in her arms.
He giggles. And that sound has my heart slamming in my chest.
I am a dad.
“Give him to me.” The words rolled off my tongue as my eyes glued to my mini me.
He was a beautiful boy and even though the ends of his hair curled on top of his ear, I noticed that he
had his mom’s ears.
Cute.
Mila held him tighter, looking at me like I was the devil. I grit my teeth and glared at her in fury. She was
getting on my last nerves.
“Give me my son Mila.” I snapped in frustration. I’m this close to losing my patience and this close to
taking him from her myself.
But I didn’t want to scare him and have him terrified of me. So I controlled my anger and only glared at
Mila in impatience.
She looks at Sophie behind me and she nods a few seconds later. Walking up to me, she glared at me.
“If you hurt them, I’ll skewer you alive.” She warned and finally pass my little boy to me.

He’s tiny compared to me and surprisingly he comes without a fight. He seems almost excited, cheerful
and he was adorable. My heart is warming, yet getting filled with anger and resentment for what Sophie
had done to me.
I turn around with him in my arms and my eyes fall on his mother leaning against the doorframe. Her
eyes are red and misty. She’s crying.
But even though my heart panged knowing I had caused this, don’t apologize. She deserved it. At least
in my book.
Mila passes her and squeezes her arm on her way out. Now it was only the three of us.
I’m trying my best to ignore her as I focus on my son in my arms. His head falls on my shoulder and I
hear the soft adorable sigh of a yawn tumble out his mouth.
My fingers are trembling as I place my hand on his back.
“He usually takes a nap around this time,” Sophie whispered and I lift my head just in time to see her
wipe a few trailing tears off her cheeks.
I tear my gaze away. I’m supposed to be even more furious with her for what she did. But of course, the
woman can cause the most severe damage to me and I’d still want her.

“How old is he?” I asked, trying to calculate his age in my head.
“Twenty-seven months,” She whispered crossing her arms under her breast. By doing so she manages
to lift her breast and the creamy skin nearly spilled at the top of her tank top.
I lick my lips and move my gaze away quickly.
Sophie must be a demon for her to still affect me even though | am furious at her with yet another of
her decisions.
“So I missed twenty-seven months of my son’s life. I missed his first birthday…. did you even have a
party for him Sophie? Of course, you did and I’m sure not once did you feel guilty that I wasn’t there.” I
gritted lowly, not wanting to raise my voice to disturb a sleepy Ash.
Sophie looks frustrated and pushes off the doorframe. “Even though I would have told you Aiden, you’d
still miss his birth, his first word, his first laugh, his first birthday, because you were still in jail!”
“And who do you think caused that in the first place?! Who do you think caused me to go to jail!?” I
snapped, loud, startling Ash. He starts to cry and Sophie quickly runs over to us.
I try to rock him to stop him from crying but he only cries louder. I feel useless.

Sophie pries him out of my hold and I rake a hand through my hair in frustration when he quiets down This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
when he’s in her embrace.
“It’s okay Ashton.” She cooed, looking up at me.
My son saw me as nothing but a stranger.
I feel nothing but more anger towards Sophie. Even though I was in jail for that one year, I could’ve still
been there for Ash. I could’ve still had that father and son bond with him.
She took that away from me. Without even giving me a chance.
“You hate me.” I narrowed my eyes on her gorgeous face. Even though I’m undoubtedly furious at her, I
still acknowledge how breathless she can make me with just her features.
She looks surprised as she brushes a hand through our son’s hair. “What?”
I nod. “You hate me so much for teasing you in high school, that you wanted to get even by doing this.”
| gritted out lowly while shaking my head.
“Tell me, Sophie. What did you think you’d accomplish by keeping my son away from me?”
Sophie shakes her head. “You’re not serious Aiden. You call

what you did to me in high school teasing? That was bullying. There was nothing teasing about what
you did to me. And even though you made my high school years miserable, I wouldn’t ever try to get
even with you. Not in this way.”
Her words slapped me across my face.
“Miserable? What do you think I’m feeling right now that I have a son that doesn’t know I’m his dad? He
looks at me like I’m a stranger Sophie. I feel helpless, I feel miserable Sophie. My son doesn’t know
who I am.” I whispered, looking down at his sleepy face.
I want to reach down and kiss his cheeks. But I fear he’d burst into tears again.
“I’m sorry Aiden. My decisions weren’t the best and I’m sorry | did this to you
I shake my head. “Sorry isn’t going to fix this Sophie.” I cut her off and raked a hand through my hair.
I wasn’t sure what to do now. I was confused about what to do. On one hand, I still wanted her to pay
for abandoning me in jail and now for not telling me about Ash’s existence. But another part wanted me
to move on and make the best of the situation.
I still have so much hate in my heart for what she has done that I think I won’t be able to forgive her so
easily.
“You’ll be hearing from me soon.” I gritted out and started to walk away from her.
“What?” She breathed out.
I turn around before I’m out the door.
“I’m going to be in my son’s life whether you like it or not. I’m not missing out on another second of his
life Sophie.” I grumble, dropping my eyes to look at Ash in her arms. His eyes are fluttering closed and
his lips are pouted.
He definitely got that from his mom. I remember how adorable she looked when she fell asleep in math
class. She pouts in her sleep.
Sophie looks scared at my words and I shake my head. Did she really want me out of his life so bad?
| grit my teeth and stormed out of the room and apartment, ignoring Mila and Ria who were peeking
behind a door.
Whether Sophie liked it or not, I’m going to be in both hers and Ash’s life from now on.
